The South Island rugby league team is a rugby league team that represents the South Island of New Zealand. They are nicknamed the Scorpions.[1] The side previously represented the Southern Zone in the Albert Baskerville Trophy. However, they now only compete in the under 15 and under 17 National Competitions.[2] Historically, teams representing the South Island played annual fixtures against the North Island and also played touring international sides.[3]
